As I said I have read lots of NHS stories from different professionals and enjoy reading the patients and doctors experiences. This one is different as we get to see the normal doctor approach but Marshall-Andrews takes a more holistic approach and once she gets her own gp surgery we see what it is like to work with other professionals in a holistic manner and how it can affect and impact the patients. Really glad read these memoirs, and re taught me the lesson ‘never judge a book by it’s cover’ ( or blurb )

There are fascinating and often very moving accounts of patients and their ails and situations and how she doesn’t just go the extra mile but a whole marathon to give someone just a bit more comfort, hope or dignity, she is so honest and knows her downfalls and mistakes and lists these with her achievements Reading this reminded me of The Compassion Project: A case for hope and humankindness from the town that beat loneliness, a book about how building a strong community in the town of Frome has improved health and wellbeing. This has seen hospital and GP visits go down, which has also reduced pressures on the NHS. Linking the two books together, if we could build strong communities, we can improve health and wellbeing. And if we adopt a holistic approach to healthcare that seeks to treat the whole person, then when someone does get ill, it will ensure they get the help they really need.The audiobook was beautifully narrated and captured the wide variety of emotions expressed throughout. Described via tag line as ‘The heartfelt new medical memoir for 2022 telling the true story of an NHS doctor’s pioneering, holistic approach to care’ For liability, point(s) of impact will usually make or break Plaintiff’s case. Only officers who possess “expert qualifications can express an opinion as to point of impact.” ( Waller v. Southern Cal. Gas Co. (1959) 170 Cal.App.2d 747, 752.) Her compassion and empathy are obvious but she’s not frightened to look critically at the structures we’ve created around the practice of modern medicine. There are sharp barbs here for the likes of the CQC and the Medicines Management Team, who take her to a performance review for prescribing the only drug that helps her patient. This is not a book about miracle cures but it is about small miracles nonetheless - patients who know nothing but confrontation are calmed, patients whose longstanding drug misuse is believed entrenched behaviour are given a different way out of their misery, patients whose last few months are made joyful simply by someone listening to what they want.

Q: Based upon your investigation and experience, were you able to form any opinions as to the speed of plaintiff’s/defendant’s vehicle? For Marshall-Andrews the problem is — to steal her opening quotation from Pope Benedict XVI — ‘Society today is being fragmented by a way of thinking that is inherently short-sighted because it disregards the full horizon of truth’. Compelling and essential . . . will appeal to everyone who enjoyed Adam Kay’s This Is Going to Hurt’ Philippa Perry

What Seems to be the Problem is a revelation. It shows that without spending multi millions, individuals and community healthcare practices can make a huge difference to the way healthcare is delivered in the UK. Dr. Laura Marshall-Andrews is a rare individual who has taken the giant leap to radically change her approach to GP care at a personal level and in the way her group practice was organised. It’s not an easy ride but her resilience and fortitude, underpinned by her belief that the current model doesn’t work, has really delivered. Very highly recommended. This book is extremely emotive. I cried a lot but I also got angry and upset on behalf of the patients who'd been sidelined and also on behalf of Dr Marshall-Andrews herself who appears to be fighting an uphill struggle at times against those who want no change. However I also laughed a lot at the joy tiny changes brought about. Officers responding to car accidents are usually the first to investigate those accidents; taking photos, measurements, and gathering other evidence. This evidence can make or break your case on liability, and often goes towards causation and damages. You need to know how to use these officers’ findings to plaintiff’s advantage. In this powerful and deeply personal memoir, award-winning GP Dr Laura Marshall-Andrews introduces us to the patients who have shaped her radical approach to medicine. Q: Have you also received in-the-field training on how to investigate accidents while working for the [CHP]?
